| Integrated for B&W CM7s? FWIW, I used to have B&W CM4 (the previous line) with Rotel RB1080 amp and RC1070 pre and sounded very good to me. I later discovered B&W aluminum tweeters work really well with tubed amplification, again, to my ears (and now with B&W ... | |
| step up from rotel? 52tiger,As previous posters said, more info about the rest of your system, what you are trying to improve, etc would be helpful.Here's a thought, though: I had B&W CM4 with Rotel RB1080 + Rotel RC1070 pre and Roted CD player (my first system) ... | |
| Looking for a new SS integrated amp for B&W 805S Let me throw in McIntosh, which many like paired with B&W. I drive my 804S with a McIntosh MC275 tubed amp. There is an integrated McIntosh amp called 2275 which is essentially the same amplification section. While not solid state, try and giv... | |
| Conrad Johnson ET2 + MC275? So nobody has auditioned the ET2 (hard to believe), my post just came in at an odd time and went unnoticed, or other?This is an attempt to put it back into the radar screen. Anybody has input...please??Thanks!Horacio | |
| best preamp for 501's Keep in mind none of the preamps you are inquiring about is really balanced design, despite having XLR outputs. Within the McIntosh line, to get a balanced design you have to go to the C500 (very expensive!), or just go to another manufacturer.You... | |
| HELP : Best pre and power amps for B&W804 and HTM2 Slim,I got my 275 in the US and then moved to Latin America, and switching voltages was almost a non issue: the tech rep at the shop where I bought it had some internal wiring moved to one place to the next in the existing transformer and that was... | |
| HELP : Best pre and power amps for B&W804 and HTM2 Slim,I also have 804S, but only do stereo, so I can't comment on processors or multi-channel amps, but can give some input.I use a McIntosh MC275. It's 2x 75 Watts, tubed amp. I LOVE it.Amp brands that are generally regarded as good matches with B... | |
| McIntosh MC-501 vs McIntosh MC-1.2KW try asking over at the McIntosh forums in audioaficionado.org and audiokarma.org. Several over there have tried this, I think.Horacio | |
| McIntosh C220 VS C2300 AB comparison "I just listen to CD & Internet radio streaming, do I need c2300 at all?"Uhhh...I don't know, but I'm feeling your pain!I also have a 275 + 804S, so very similar setups, and also listen to digital only. So, do we need a preamp or a DAC with a ... | |
| VAC Avatar Super and Mc 2275 Never heard the VAC, but own a MC275 (essentially the same amp section of the MC2275) with B&W 804S (smaller than the 803S) and it has NO issues whatsoever driving these speakers. Actually I have a SS 200 Wpc amp sitting around and was conside... | |
| mcintosh vs jeff rowland Yeap, the C220 and C2200 are also in the list. They set the bar against which I'll judge other preamps such as the Capri, Lamm LL2, Aesthetix Calypso, Audio Note M2, etc. I noticed most Virtual Systems with MC275 also run either C220 or C2200, tho... | |
| Audio Note, Lamm, 1st Sound with McIntosh 275? Flg2001,Thanks for the input. Would you mind elaborating why you suggest this?I noticed on the Lamm vs. Air Tight thread you also suggested the OP to go with Air Tight even though you love your Lamm. This is probably proof of your objectivity vs. ... | |
| mcintosh vs jeff rowland Talking Mc and Rowland: how would you expect a McIntosh MC275 paired with a Capri to work? Sounstaging? 3D?I own the 275 and been looking into the Capri for a while, but can't audition. I wonder if, for the money, there are better preamp matches f... | |
| Audio Note, Lamm, 1st Sound with McIntosh 275? Thanks for the comments. Will add those to my list.I'm surprised nobody is commenting on the Audio Note, or the LL2, though. Anyone?Thanks!Horacio | |
| 1st setup failed, need advice for B&W N805 amp Koven,I'm with the first posters: don't assume it's how the electronics are. Follow their leads. Leave component changes for last.On my upgrade path I've had B&W 804S connected to relatively cheap Rotel components and, while the sound wasn't t... |
